February at a glance

I love taking pictures. Not a 'breaking news' statement, I know. Since Austin was born I made a commitment to myself probably the hardest commitments to keep; zero accountability to print pictures every month; and blog more often. So far, complete success. I rock, for now. So, as the picture taking has dwindled a little bit, I am still sure to capture what moments are special to me and us as a family. Here are a few from the month of February around here.

Courtney loves to show up in baby items:

One of the intentional traditions I have started is baking with Courtney. We love to bake together. Probably because we love to eat what we bake while we are making it. :-) I love when Paul grabs the camera to capture these memories that I have in my heart.

It snowed for the first time this year.

Our first snow man for the year. Our very small snowman.

Austin's first tooth broke through. 

We took the kids to the park - just a week after the first snow it was 70 degrees. Arkansas.

I continue to be in love with my husband. Who is getting better and better looking. Lucky me!

On my way to bed each night I go in and kiss Courtney, tell her I love her, and tuck her in. This night I walked around the corner to this and it simply melted my heart. I love this girl. I love the innocence of a child sleeping. I love how she cuddles her cow. I love how she uses the nap mat I made her years ago. I love how random she is. I just love her.

Daddy bought Austin his first truck.

Courtney and Austin began taking baths together. He is pretty much too big for the sink but can't sit up yet. This is our solution.

 We went to Crystal Bridges for the first time. Will go back when we have more time. This is the Last Supper. It's amazing. Its upside-down, until you look in this crystal ball. And, best of all. It's all made with spools of thread. Simply amazing!

This sculpture is mostly jack in the boxes. Courtney LOVED it. She is such a goof.

Ok. Seriously. How cute is this?

Our kids love my brother. Honestly, he doesn't come see them too often, not nearly enough. But they love him. Austin does not lay on people like this. He wants his head up, he wants to see what's going on. But he laid on Blah Blah and laid his head down. It was adorable. He loves him.

So that's it. February in a glance. 29 days of us.
